bull Nitinol Wire Applicationsbull Our Nitinol wire is used for many different medical and

industrial applications The table below gives some typical engineering applications for each of our standard Nitinol medical grades

bull GradeApplicationndash NiTi1Guidewires stents stylets forming mandrels stone

retrieval baskets orthodontic files etcndash NiTi2Ideal for applications that require a high loading and

unloading plateau stresses at room temperature cell phone antennae eyeglass frames

ndash NiTi4Provides the best cycling performances at 37degC at body temperature

Elastic Springback and Constancy of Stress

bull Nitinolrsquos springback or elasticity is about 10 times greater than stainless steel

bull Nitinol can be designed to apply constant force or stress over a variety of shapes A good example of this is orthodontic archwires

Biocompatibilitybull Nitinol is compatible with the human

body even though nickel is toxic Nitinol is an intermetallic compound in metallurgical sense and the bonding force of nickel and titanium is much stronger than stainless steel

bull When nitinol oxidizes which is not easy for it to do due to the protective coatings it forms TiO2 on the outside with no nickel on the surface This makes it safe for contact with the human body

bull Nitinol is also more stable and less corrosive that stainless steel

bull Flexibility and kink resistance allows the alloy to be bent and deformed far beyond the abilities of stainless steel Today small nitinol tubes and wires travel all throughout the body

Nitinol is also MRI compatible because it is non-ferromagnetic with a lower susceptibility than stainless steel

Elastic and Thermal Deployment

bull Elastic deployment allows complex instruments to pass through small tubes (cannulas) and into the human body where they deploy and return to their programmed undeformed shape

bull Superelastic nitinol medical instruments can be deployed with the shape memory technique which works well with human bodies After cooling the nitinol to its martensite phase it can deployed once the Af Temperature is reached and the Af Temperature is set to about 98 degrees F

bull Stents are inserted to keep vessels open in the body and they will grow larger as the vessel grows because of their flex ability and elasticity

industrial applications The table below gives some typical engineering applications for each of our standard Nitinol medical grades

bull GradeApplicationndash NiTi1Guidewires stents stylets forming mandrels stone

retrieval baskets orthodontic files etcndash NiTi2Ideal for applications that require a high loading and

unloading plateau stresses at room temperature cell phone antennae eyeglass frames

ndash NiTi4Provides the best cycling performances at 37degC at body temperature

Elastic Springback and Constancy of Stress

bull Nitinolrsquos springback or elasticity is about 10 times greater than stainless steel

bull Nitinol can be designed to apply constant force or stress over a variety of shapes A good example of this is orthodontic archwires

Biocompatibilitybull Nitinol is compatible with the human

body even though nickel is toxic Nitinol is an intermetallic compound in metallurgical sense and the bonding force of nickel and titanium is much stronger than stainless steel

bull When nitinol oxidizes which is not easy for it to do due to the protective coatings it forms TiO2 on the outside with no nickel on the surface This makes it safe for contact with the human body

bull Nitinol is also more stable and less corrosive that stainless steel

bull Flexibility and kink resistance allows the alloy to be bent and deformed far beyond the abilities of stainless steel Today small nitinol tubes and wires travel all throughout the body

Nitinol is also MRI compatible because it is non-ferromagnetic with a lower susceptibility than stainless steel

Elastic and Thermal Deployment

bull Elastic deployment allows complex instruments to pass through small tubes (cannulas) and into the human body where they deploy and return to their programmed undeformed shape

bull Superelastic nitinol medical instruments can be deployed with the shape memory technique which works well with human bodies After cooling the nitinol to its martensite phase it can deployed once the Af Temperature is reached and the Af Temperature is set to about 98 degrees F

bull Stents are inserted to keep vessels open in the body and they will grow larger as the vessel grows because of their flex ability and elasticity
